Summary:	This book offers a unique focus on the Psalms for the English-reading world. Konrad Schaefer presents a mental snapshot of each psalm, then zeroes in on the contours of the poetry, the phrases and images that risk being lost on the reader who approaches the psalms in translation. The commentary identifies the dynamics of the poetic discourse to enhance the reader's appreciation of the rhetoric and imagery, which are major keys to unlocking the meaning of the psalms. With these literary observations the reader can enter each psalm and reflect on the environment and aspects of personal life and faith that the poet projects. By isolating the inner dynamics of the poem, Schaefer provides insight and invites the reader to enjoy the poem and the prayer.
